Our tailor made retreats include therapy, coaching or yoga and are for individuals, couples and families at any time during the year. Our retreats are perfect for creativity or life coaching, or to work seriously on an emotional issue. The retreat is also helpful for partners or family members of people with chronic or severe illnesses as a place of respite or support/guidance.

The retreats are led by Aleid Warmelink, a Dutch Psychologist and Yoga teacher. She specializes in depression, burnout, anxiety, bereavement, trauma and illness-guidance. She also works in creativity and life coaching. She has worked successfully with a great range of clients (see our testimonials).

Your retreat can start at any time and be for any duration. Therapeutic retreats usually range from 1-4 weeks, the longer being for burnout and trauma work.

The retreat starts with a free intake session via phone/skype. Therapeutic sessions are available prior to arriving at the retreat and may continue after your time with us.

Aleid and her husband Doby are open, relaxed and inspiring hosts and facilitators offering an environment with as much privacy or company as you wish.

Doby is a wonderful cook for any diet including lactose free, gluten free, or vegetarian.

It is our desire to meet your needs. Please visit our website or contact us for further information.

As part of the reservation process we will set up a (free) intake session to determine the needs of your retreat, immediately after which you can cancel with no fee.

Environmentally Sustainable:
Yes!
We are always working on improving our environmental sustainability. So far we recycle plastic, paper, glass, and use compost and waste water for the garden. We try to serve biologically local grown food as much as possible. We are located on a beautiful and isolated hill without connection to the water mains, so we have water from a natural well and rain water.

From here you can:1. rent a car (advisable)2. take local transport (to Palma take bus no.1, stop at Placa de Espanya, from there take bus no. 140 to Galilea (not frequent, ask us for the time-table).3. take a taxi ca. € 45,00 one-way.4. ask for our taxi service (€ 30,00 one-way).

With a car: Take the highway direction Palma. Take the second exit, named MA20, via cintura, Andratx. Stay on the ring till you see exit Valldemossa, get attentive. Take the next exit 7A, named Puigpuyent-can Valero. Go right at the end of the exit. Keep following the broad windy road to Puigpunyent. There you go left to Galilea. Stay on this road almost past Galilea untill you see a big white kilometer mark '7' on the left side of the road. There you go right, up the stone path and after 50 m. sharp right again. After a steep last part further up is a small parking next to our house.

Aleid is excellent at creating the right experience for everyone, no matter what your skill level is. We both felt more supple and centred and with a determination and energy to continue what our retreat week had kick started. For those also looking for some guidance, I can’t think of a better place to start that process.

By the end of the week, we also felt nutritionally balanced and Doby’s wonderful cooking has left us with a new interest in creating vegetarian dishes for ourselves.

“The yoga classes were very well done, personal and very educational. Previously I had attended a couple of group classes at home and never really understood what I was supposed to be doing. Aleid breaks down the postures and builds up to them in a way that you find your body is able to achieve so much more than you would have thought possible.

We also had a Shiatsu massage which was very personalised and really focused on treating specific issues and pain.

We hope to return again...

'I have felt at home, with friendly and genuine people looking after me. It has been a calm and supporting environment which has contributed to the success of my therapy. Aleid and Doby are lovely and great people who have made me feel safe and loved!

Aleid has guided me to explore the beauty and happiness inside myself; also to learn to love myself fully and use the gift of the silence to observe and feel the truth of my heart, feelings, soul which nourishes and makes me feel radiant.

We did a yoga and couples therapy retreat. Upon arrival we were made to feel completely at home with Aleid and Doby. We really connected with Aleid, who we felt gave us an incredible amount of warmth and focused attention. She also gave us real tools to help us talk to each other, understand each other, and develop empathy for each other. One of the best aspects of the retreat is the food!! Delicious, fresh, healthy, and different everyday — thanks Doby and Aleid!

'I think you do realize how much you mean to me and how much you literally were my bright spot in the first dark months after my burn-out. Nevertheless I'd like to thank you again; for all those fine conversations that made me see things in perspective again. For me, you're not only a good professional, but also a great person. I still benefit from your advice almost every day. Thanks for that! And for the great yoga lessons of course, I will miss those too.'

I came to Aleid and Doby needing to grow to avoid burn out. Aleid’s multi-faceted approach, Doby’s fabulous food, and the opportunity to stay in a wonderful home, brought growth and rest. We uncovered beliefs that have caged me, found practical ideas that I am growing into, and did slow yoga to rediscover physical and emotional depth that I find solace in. This was complemented by a safe environment where I could be angry, laugh, upset and run up/down mountains.Thank you.

My week with Aleid and Doby has really been perfect – and just what I needed.

I came from a very socially, mentally and physically demanding job and had become exhausted. Too drained and tired to remember where my zest for life had dissapeared to.

One week later – and I am leaving with a new kind of excitement and a deep happiness. Doby makes the most delicious juices everyday and yoga sessions with Aleid have been eye opening.

I can´t thank you enough. I will definitely be back.
